The Rain

Rain I’m so lonely I think I could burst My heart aches The butterflies inside my chest screaming Giant monsters tearing at my flesh Cold metal lying across my bare skin The pain The cold hard pain Rain pours down I cannot stop the rush I cannot stay the flood Red dances before my eyes Spots of red inside the haze But the pain does not stop The tears roll down my skin The salty tang filling my mouth Laughter echoes in my ears I do not see them I do not see the tormentors They do not understand What it is like to bear the weight of the rains They do not know how to cease the flow of the raging waterfalls Mighty and powerful The strain too much to bear I rub my face Stained with rain I cannot think I cannot see All there is, is pain The rain keeps pouring The halls are silent As my silent footsteps crawl past None can hear my plea My desperate cry Red Red dances before my eyes Taking over my body The rain won’t stop It keeps falling, falling, falling White-hot pain burning across my throat I cannot speak I cannot breathe My eyes roll up into my head Visions of the sky The water As the pain passes on And the rain slowly fades away
